| 1 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR . Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect the connector from TCM. Measure the resistance between TCM connector terminals. Connector & terminal (B55) No. 23 - No. 12 | Is the resistance 500 ohms or more? | Go to step 2 . | Go to step 4 . |
| 2 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR . Measure the resistance of the harness between TCM connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B55) No. 23 - Chassis ground | Is the resistance 1 Mohms or more? | Go to step 3 . | Go to step 4 . |
| 3 CHECK HARNESS . Measure the resistance between TCM connector terminals while shaking the harness. Connector & terminal (B55) No. 23 - No. 12 | Does the resistance change? | Go to step 4 . | Replace the TCM. Refer to TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) . |
| 4 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR . Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect the connector from transmission. Measure the resistance of the harness between TCM connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B55) No. 23 - Chassis ground | Is the resistance 1 Mohms or more? | Go to step 5 . | Repair the short circuit of harness between TCM and transmission harness. |
| 5 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR . Measure the resistance of the harness between TCM connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B55) No. 12 - Chassis ground | Is the resistance 1 Mohms or more? | Go to step 6 . | Repair the short circuit of harness between TCM and transmission harness. |
| 6 CHECK ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR . Measure the resistance between transmission connector terminals. Connector & terminal (T4) No. 11 - No. 15 | Is the resistance 500 ohms or more? | Check for short circuits in the harness or connectors, and repair the fault location. | Go to step 7 . |
| 7 CHECK TRANSMISSION HARNESS . Lift up the vehicle. Drain the automatic transmission fluid. CAUTION: Do not drain ATF until it cools down. Remove the oil pan. Disconnect the harness connector from control valve. Measure the resistance between transmission connector and transmission ground. Connector & terminal (T4) No. 11 - Transmission ground | Is the resistance 1 Mohms or more? | Go to step 8 . | Replace the transmission harness. |
| 8 CHECK TRANSMISSION HARNESS . Measure the resistance between transmission connector and transmission ground. Connector & terminal (T4) No. 15 - Transmission ground | Is the resistance 1 Mohms or more? | Go to step 9 . | Replace the transmission harness. |
| 9 CHECK ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR . Measure the resistance between control valve connector terminals. Connector & terminal (AT2) No. 4 - No. 9 | Is the resistance 500 ohms or more? | Check for short circuits in the harness or connectors, and repair the fault location. | Replace the control valve body. Refer to CONTROL VALVE BODY . |
